Sweet Suede Shoes

One of autumn's essentials: the suede shoe!
What’s most exciting to CC about this trend? That these fabulously soft and sumptuous beauties can be found in any hue your little heart desires! (Just don't wear them in the rain, and if you do accidentally get them wet, stuff them with newspapers to absorb the moisture!!).

    Such gorgeous shoes. You're right about not wearing suede in the rain, which means that here in Vancouver suede is pretty much forbidden about 3/4 of the year. =(

    That being said, another easy way of preventing suede shoes from getting stained by water is to spray a couple coats of stain guard on them before the first time you wear them.

    Love suede shoes, so not very good for this island weather because of the winter rain.

    Susanna-Cole: Yes, you are right! I am such a dork I actually quoted it in my caption for that last pair of blue suede Manolo Blahniks!

    Fashion Fille - agreed!

    Lisa - great tip!

    Seeker - indoors only for suede, I suppose?

    Thanks darlings for all your lovely remarks!

    I love all of these, urghhhhhh
    esp the pink Louboutins, and I usually don't love Loubs
    I think I love suede so much because growing up in Latin Ameria/Israel my winters were cold but not too rainy/snowy so suede was always a good option. I love suede. and it loves me back.
